## Install

```bash
pip install torch-pointcloud
```

## Usage

```python
import torch
import torch_pointcloud as tp
from torch_pointcloud.utils.data import collate

model, info = tp.create_model(
    "pointnext-sm-c64.modelnet40.openpoints",
    task="classification",
    pretrained=True,
    return_info=True,
)
model = model.eval()

# synthetic sample with the keys a dataset provides
num_points = 8192
sample = {
    "pos": torch.randn(num_points, 3),
    "normal": torch.randn(num_points, 3),
}
data = info["transform"](sample)
data = collate([data])

with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(data.get("x"), data["pos"], data["batch"])
```

## Feature extraction

```python
with torch.no_grad():
    embeddings = model.forward_features(data.get("x"), data["pos"], data["batch"])

model.reset_classifier(num_classes=0)
with torch.no_grad():
    embeddings = model(data.get("x"), data["pos"], data["batch"])  # (B, 1024)
```
